For those of you who don’t know me, I’m John Puttrich. I interned at the farm a couple years ago and now I’m the new program manager. Though I know my way around the Holland area quite well, my wife, Jenna, and I moved back from Philadelphia just last Sunday.
In addition to helping Andy with the CSA and the internship, I’ll be overseeing the New Fast Food program and any other agendas intended to further the mission of Eighth Day.
Andy is still the person to contact with all of your CSA thoughts and feelings. But you’re free to reach out to me regarding anything with a food justice programmatic twist, the New Fast Food program, or if you want any good fermentation recipes – get in touch at John@eighthdayfarm.org.
As far as farm things go, the soil is still too chilly to nurture plants. So Andy and I have gotten busy organizing our thoughts and putting into action our wintery plans. Right now, the lionshare of my efforts goes towards perfecting the growing plan for the New Fast Food program, but it doesn’t take any time at all to transition when we get excited about different rabbit holes like the internship curriculum, compost management, or the upcoming plant sale.
It’s only a matter of time before we’ll start putting seeds into the soil for our CSA, and there’s still a lot of work to be done. For now, we’ll be satisfied with dreaming of homemade baba ghanouj, zucchini bread, or massaged kale salad. – John
